Infantino Urges Nigeria to Strengthen Football Structures Amid NFF Crisis
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has urged Nigeria to build stronger football structures and clearer development pathways after meetings with Nigerian football officials. The call comes at a difficult period for Nigerian football. The Super Eagles missed the 2026 World Cup, while the Super Falcons also failed to qualify for the 2027 Women’s World Cup. With an NFF leadership crisis leading to the resignation of Ibrahim Gusau and other executive members, many fans are asking whether Nigeria needs a complete overhaul of football administration or simply more capable leaders within the existing system.
